"When I was in high school, after a lengthy hotbox one evening, I came up with the 'reverse candle' which would consume carbon dioxide and produce oxygen while also providing shade. Everyone truly thought it was a good idea so we wrote it out on paper so we wouldn't forget.

Later, the next day I had realized we invented trees."

"Was stoned and listening to jazz and cooking with friends once. We got really into it and we were dancing around to the jazz and seasoning/spicing the food as we felt fit. We came up with the idea for a restaurant where all the chefs are stoned and allowed to freestyle. You order a dish and tell them what music to infuse it with. They put on that music, and get in the groove. And make your dish with the vibe that they’re feeling."

"When I did shrooms, I came up with the absolutely GENIUS idea that NASA should employ young children and send them to space for missions. They have more natural curiosity and aren't jaded yet by adulthood and they might notice things that a more experienced astronaut would miss because they'll look from a different perspective. I was convinced I needed to e-mail NASA right away and tell them about my brilliant epiphany."

I thought how cool would it be if there was a nacho sandwich, where the bread would be chips, and inside would be filled with all of the delicious nacho toppings. I sat there for 10 minutes thinking I had revolutionized nachos until I realized that I just invented tacos in my mind."

Turning a toaster sideways and putting in mini pizzas to cook bake them rather than microwave them so they don't end up soggy. All the crumbs from the bottom of the toaster slid onto the heating element and smoked like crazy, setting off my fire alarm at 3 am. ( I guess I never dumped the crumb tray).

"Me and 2 friends were extremely high and extremely hungry. We put all our money together and said that we would buy the most amount of food for the amount of money we had gathered.

We had a total of £16. So our thought process was we could order 16 portions of chips (French fries for you Americans). We had to call the takeaway 3 times before they would believe that it wasn't a prank. We convinced them we were throwing a party. The takeaway finally delivered it and me and my other friend were too high to go to the door so we made friend 3 go by himself. All of the lights were off and there was no music playing so the delivery driver delivered 16 portions of chips to 1 man alone from his perspective.

Needless to say, 16 portions of chips is too much food between 3 people."
